Reaction Steps

In a 1 liter flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a reflux condenser capped with a nitrogen bubbler, and an addition funnel was put 250 g of carbon disulfide, 23.1 g of biphenyl and 80 g of anhydrous aluminum chloride. To this stirred mixture, a solution of 30.0 g of β,β-dimethyl acrylic acid dissolved in 165 ml of carbon disulfide was added from the addition funnel in about 1/4 hour. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours and then heated to gentle reflux for 1 hour. After being cooled to room temperature, the mixture was poured into 1 kilogram of chopped ice with vigorous stirring, and stirred for about 16 hours.
